The team
Lilja Þorsteinsdóttir
CEO
Lilja is allergic to unnecessary problems. She’s the proof that redheads have no soul but she makes up for it with her infinite knowledge about innovation and startups. She’s the ultimate “doer” and has the sacred gift of knowing what search engines love.
Máté Molnár

The Hungarian wonderchild that came to Iceland 10 years ago and isn’t keen on going back any time soon. Máté is insufferably smart in almost everything, be that online advertising, growing plants or doing business. Plus, he’s a great guy. The whole package! Google Ads Certified.
Þór Matthíasson

When it comes to search engine marketing we can say with 99.5% certainty that Þór is Iceland’s leading expert in the field. For some reason, his brain doesn’t work like other people’s brains. If the Google Ads platform is a vast, complicated spider web, Þór is the spider that knows it’s way around it. Google ads certified.
Diemut Haberbusch
SEO / Project manager
One of our most experienced employee. Diemut has been researching how to get to the top of search engines since before Google existed and people browsed the web through Netscape Navigator. She’s one of Iceland’s most organized women and that’s why she’s a great project manager. Google ads certified.
Hreiðar Smári Marinósson
Social Media Manager
You might not find anyone in Iceland who is as big of a social media advertising nerd as Hreiðar.

He´ll also help you move if you ask him since he’s an outstanding friend.
Beggi Dan Gunnarsson
Creative director
We’re scared of saying too much about Beggi since he is an enigma. He’s a whirlwind and has a beautiful brain that works best in a chaotic environment. Beggi is a legendary SEO expert, a musician, and an overall marketing nut.

Atli Hólmgrímsson
